In this special episode of the DIY Musician Podcast, Kevin and Chris — in front of a live audience — discuss some of the most common mistakes musicians make when releasing new music (and what you SHOULD be doing instead).http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/cdbabypodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/DIYMusicianPodcast_Episode158.mp3

In case you have more prizes for biggest mistake (and I’ve made all of these mistakes)
